Project Overview
Constance J., a homeowner in Everett's Riverside neighborhood near Everett Community College and WSU Everett, had lived with her original 1990s fiberglass tub-shower combo for years. As stepping over the tub wall became harder and less safe, she wanted a walk-in shower built around real safety features, the kind of aging-in-place planning our team specializes in.
Our crew removed the fiberglass tub-shower combo and rebuilt the space with grout-free Azzurra Bay wall panels, two ErgoSafetyBar grab bars, and a sliding shower door, completed in two days. If you're considering a similar project, our Everett bathroom remodeling page has more on what a typical project in the area looks like.
The Challenge: An Aging Fiberglass Tub-Shower Combo in Riverside
Replacing Original 1990s Construction
Constance's bathroom still had its original 1990s fiberglass tub-shower insert. Fiberglass surrounds from that era tend to develop cracks, staining, and slippery surfaces over time, and stepping over a tub wall becomes a real safety concern as it ages. Bathtub replacement and tub-to-shower conversion are two of the most common requests Oasis Bath Solutions gets from homeowners in older Everett homes for exactly this reason.

Full scope of work:
Removal of original fiberglass tub-shower combo
Installation of Azzurra Bay grout-free wall panels
Two ErgoSafetyBar grab bars
Sliding shower door
New shower base and drain
The full project was completed in two days.
Benefits
Results of This Everett Tub-to-Shower Conversion
No More Stepping Over a Tub Wall
The low-step Azzurra Bay shower base replaced the original tub, so getting in and out is easier and safer every day.
Real Safety Support
Two wall-backed ErgoSafetyBar grab bars, 18" and 24", give secure support that a clamp-on or suction option can't match.
No More Grout to Maintain
Azzurra Bay panels seal as one piece, so there are no grout lines left to crack, stain, or collect mold.
Easier to Clean, Every Day
A sliding glass door and a Retreat shower system replaced the old curtain and worn fixtures, cutting down daily upkeep.
Fast Turnaround
The full conversion was completed in two days.

You want added grab bars without an institutional look.
You're ready for a fast project, done in a couple of days.
